Chief Executive Officer - San Francisco, CA, United States - DignityMoves

Description

Dignity Moves seeks an individual who can operate at start-up speed and enterprise scale to raise significant funds and develop the business strategy and policy platform to radically expand this proven interim housing model regionally and nationally in order to get unsheltered individuals off the streets and into dignified housing.

DignityMoves is an innovative nonprofit organization that is reimagining scalable solutions to unsheltered homelessness. In partnership with cities, supportive services agencies and private stakeholders, DignityMoves rapidly builds cost-effective interim supportive housing communities.

Utilizing unused land, relocatable prefabricated units and emergency building provisions, the organization empowers municipalities to address the homelessness epidemic with appropriate urgency.

DignityMoves is also committed to driving systemic change through impactful policy and advocacy, and in collaboration with lawmakers and community leaders, has been working on groundbreaking legislation that has the potential to transform the way communities address unsheltered homelessness.

SB 1395, also known as the the Interim Housing Act, presents a pivotal step forward in the collective mission to provide stability, dignity and hope to those who need it most.

Headquartered in the Bay Area, DignityMoves was founded by a group of national YPO executives committed to creating practical solutions to housing the unhoused.

Working together in public/private partnerships, DignityMoves leverages its extensive networks and resources to end the humanitarian crisis on our streets.

DignityMoves has 17 projects underway across California and is expanding nationally. Since its inception two years ago, it has grown to over $30M and built over 200 housing units. Fifteen hundred (1,500) additional units are currently in development and expected to be operational in the next 12 months.

The organization has plans to significantly scale regionally and needs to proactively raise 6-, 7- and 8-figure gifts from private philanthropists and venture investors.

DignityMoves plans to create a business strategy and policy platform so that municipalities across the US, service providers and private funders have a roadmap to build fast, cost-effective dignified interim supportive interim housing at scale.

The CSGO will be creative, solution-oriented and not risk-adverse.
